Chapter 38: Chapter 38

Kate distracted herself by engaging in different activities after work with the reminder that Alvin's child was growing inside her.

She didn't want a child but she can't abort it either. Her mother had warned her regarding it.

She had to change her diet for her baby's sake. Alvin isn't going to get a child from her. She was glad Dante agreed to take responsibility.

Then she heard a knock on the door then uttered a come in.

" Alvin? She stood up to acknowledge him not in the least expecting to see.

" Dad's at the hospital. We're going there. Get dressed." He stated as she curt nod expecting him to leave but he stood tall staring at her.

" alright. I'll be ready in a few minutes." But he didn't bulge

" Alvin, please I want my privacy. There's nothing you haven't seen about me. Just be a good boy for once and leave" she tried to be polite to avoid upsetting him.

" Fine. You've two minutes to get dressed" he stated staring at her chest then averted his gaze elsewhere. Kate noticed his unwavering gaze and backed him pretending to pick something from the closet.

Alvin furrowed his brows then shook it off.

Meeting Alvin's parents especially Mr. Reagan always gives her the creeps. She had to dress formally too.

Thinking about Bianca's incessant nag of having children she decided to wear a crop top and denim jeans with a long coat to match, after all, winter was nigh. She hasn't spent a single Christmas with Alvin since she knew him.

She was looking forward to it or was she crazy? Wasn't she divorcing him? She mentally scolds herself curling her hair. ' I hope I don't get fat ' she sassed picking her handbag.

Two years of being his wife, it was the first time they were riding in the same car though they did when she fainted but she doesn't know that. The ride to the hospital was awkward it's unknown if it was because Colton was the chauffeur or because she was mad at him not that he said a word either.

He regarded his big laptop than her not that she was jealous, she was just saying. She decided to twirl the ring in her finger and froze averting her eyes to it then looked at him but he didn't notice her then she cleared her throat to get his attention and nothing.

Colt glanced at her from the front mirror and shook his head. Is she that daft' he thought concentrating on the road?

Kate used several ways to signal him yet he ignored her. She gritted her teeth and scoot further away from him. The limousine was quite huge for the two of them which he noticed.

" What's the matter, Kate? You're not happy to see my parents? I'm too busy to worry about that. Just Flow with it" he stated immersed in his work typing, erasing, marking, and scanning documents.

She twitched her mouth averting her gaze to the bustling city watching people hold a conversation. Sometimes she wondered if they were like her. She saw mothers carrying their children. Fathers have been supportive. She felt sad.

It's a pity her child won't have that. She had craved for a complete family with Alvin. Going on a Christmas trip with him, he'd Carry their youngest child while she holds the oldest.

Her face falls in an instant at the realization that she will never have that with him. She didn't imagine herself with Dante. She didn't think they were compatible but she will do anything for her unborn baby. She thought about its sex wondering if it was a boy or a girl which had her staring at him. She didn't mind having a mini Alvin. He had the best physiques.

She wanted her child to look just like him: smart, handsome, or beautiful with starry eyes like the milky way and his chiseled jaw. His perfectly trimmed eyebrows, his sleeky brow hair. His enticing Spanish accent. His pointed nose. She wished he would have his instead. Had things not fall apart between them, he would have been a great father. He was someone to chose instead of her. Sometimes she wondered if she was worth it.

Alvin raised his head cos he couldn't ignore the fact that she has been staring at him for minutes and met her eyes which were glued on his face yet she wasn't moving them.

He wondered what she was thinking then spoke" are you falling in love with me all over again? I mean I know I'm handsome. I also know I haven't changed. So what's on your mind? He asked scooting closer to her. He took it as she didn't hear him then proceeded to cup her breast which brought her from the trance glaring at him.

" Keep your hands on your computer. Pervert" she muttered trying to create more space which he ate up.

" I don't want to. will you make me? He teased noticing her long hair just like it was when he met her: on her jaw.

" It's not funny. I think you've new messages on your computer" she said changing the topic. He chuckled resuming his work making her lie in his arms.

She didn't resist. Maybe it was the pregnancy hormone for she felt safe in his arms. Colt hit the brakes diverting to another lane.

"Alvin? She called as he hummed typing on the computer in an unknown language. Kate understood nothing.

" It's been a long I saw my family. Can I go there next week? He paused contemplating then resumed typing.

" You can go when I'm free cos you're not going alone" she rolled her eyes at him but agreed nevertheless. At least he didn't refuse.
